My Project

We are an inner city, magnet school. We have very motivated students who face many economic challenges. For example, many of our students work hours after school to help support their families. Some have to take care of their younger siblings or elders in their family. However, despite all the economic challenges they face at home, they still come to school every day and work hard for a better future. We have a ninety-seven to one hundred percent graduation rate. Most of our students will be going to college after they graduate from high school. However, most of our students do not have supplies at home, they repeatedly come to the classroom, looking to borrow them. Pencil, paper, batteries, printer inks, book bags and cleaning supplies are always needed in my classroom. This donation will allow my students who don't have supplies at home, have access in my classroom. This donation also will help us have a great start for the school year.
